I recently read about Web5, about some JAck Dorsey projects, about how it considerably improves the idea started with Web 3. Concepts such as: full user control over their data, independence from third-party infrastructures, no need for tokens, decentralized applications running on peer-to-peer networks on the second layer of bitcoin, it really sounds good, it seems to be close to achieving complete decentralization with privacy, speed and control over our data.
However, a quick look at the current panorama reveals issues that make us think about how much there is still a long way to go to achieve widespread access.
And the more we try to protect our online privacy, the more aware and prepared we must be for the risks that are assumed. Think that not everyone is an advanced user of the network, not everyone understands how a cryptocurrency works within the digital ecosystem, not everyone has the necessary knowledge to operate security tools and that is where the common user prefers to use some specialized service that takes care of everything. that and make the experience more comfortable and friendly. This is where centralization takes place with access to our data.
To give us an idea: placing Tor within an app as an option to connect to a relay could be risky; if you do not understand what Tor is and the risks of using it.
Another example: there are users who would not know how to install an apk file from Github.
Of course, these are not insurmountable obstacles, it is not to be discouraged; Many of us do see these new projects with enthusiasm. I think there will be others who will join.
